From Year 1 till now, I have completed a total of 3 major projects for my course of studies. In these projects, I have utilised multiple of my skillsets that made me confident about my projects.
In all of my projects, what I love the most is hands-on as well as coming up with graphics such as mood boards to express my illustrations better.
I am also very adventurous when it comes to the expression of various concepts, thus sketches and thought processes are very important for me

PROJECT E | KEONG SAIK
A HOME FOR UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS
Project E is a project where I am challenged to design a plot that was as narrow as 4m and transform it into a living space for a family of unique individuals of different living needs as well as dedicating a walkway for the general public.
material choicing
The project focuses a lot on enhancing the spatial qualities by encouraging a more unique way of circulation and experience of the space. I thought, must we always walked in a straight line? How about make it more exciting yet healing for everyone to come.
" A space where we all share our passion"
The beauty is a 4 story building with the two towers being connected at the main level. Members of the public can excess the 1.8m walkway via the stairs up and experience the walk around the hidden park that connects the two ends. Providing an experience for all.

PROJECT v | nacli
A INSTITUTION FOR THE CURIOUS
In project V, we are tasked to revamp an existing building, NACLI, into a new and suitable building and space for learners of an age variety. In this project, I played around with fragmentation as well as various elements such as nature and structure.
" Creating necessary tension for the right spaces"
Some people may wonder, don't a space that is so complicated gonna create unnecessary confusion and misled? Well, I want people to feel that way because this is a way to manipulate human experience and get more thinking involved.
" A gradient to test human desire to move throughout spaces"
My project follows in a gradient starting from a space of a higher and more tense area to a semi tense area then relaxing are. This is so that we can control human flow via the need of having a more open and comfortable space. I want curiosity to occur,
" Turning the impossible into reality"
By using fragmentation, there were many doubts at first but soon after a while, I started realising that this solution is very workable in an institution situation as it helps enhance the minds of knowing who they are a lot better as well as identifying their likings.
" Dividing space using height, structure and dividence"
Instead of just using solid walls in my project, I utilise many other options as well such as dividing a space using different material, different forms of nature if not different structures in considerations of the requirements of each programs.
" A space where natural is encouraged"
I sought for enhanced ventilation and sunlight as a way to help curb with operational fee, in a survey conducted, most students would prefer if there are more opportunity to connect with natural elements as a way of recalibration.
" Taking it in the form of raw and natural"
Majority of project V uses mainly raw and brutal materials, reason being it because I want to make this space to blend in more towards the surrounding of this building. The building is nestled in the middle of the surrounding nature.

nightsea |93 jln dua
A NEW WORLD OF BEAUTIFUL SEA AND SKY
Night sea is a project where we bring warmth and welcome to those who feels to be cast out from modern society as well as restoring the kampong spirit. I aim to cater to individual privacy as well as maximising Spatial arrangements and usage that follows a certain schedule.
Using a contrast of two completely different forms, I will use my design to emulate the sea and the sky, thus, this is why I name it the Night Sea

I can also be indications that are using form language to help them understand the space better and identify the best use.

" Curbing the norms of brutalism in residential context."
This space focus a lot on hiding a beautiful world from the outside truth and reality which kind of 'deceives' and depict an illusion on letting the users know that they are in a more safe and friendly area. This helps to boost the confidence of those that may face a social stigma towards the outside world.
" My client are the young, where scensory are the most important"
The night sea has been utilising the curves and waves that were simulated from waves to create a design of unless flow throughout the whole user experience journey. Night sea also adds in some elements of warmth during the day and night providing necessary welcomth and warmth.

" The need of the guide at the end of the day."
Night sea serves as not just a place for the homless but a growing space for the community by providing a different domain to step in from the outside buildings of brutalism, providing a very fine touch of uniqicity and curiosity to those that desires a more beautiful sky and sea. The effects all amulated at night and day.
